Dear Karl,
Just read your article on torture. You know there are many facets to torture.
Personally paying taxes is torture for me, I'm sure being in jail is torture for
others. The old saying, "if you don't want to do the time, don't do the crime"
certainly applies here.
The mission of any government is (or should be) to protect it's people from
aggression. Period. That is aggression among the people or from outside the
people.
Now, you have to look at torture as a tool or a weapon. There are circumstances
where certain tools or weapons are the best vehicle to use to thwart
aggression. Sometimes the right answer is a threat, or a bomb, or a gun, or an
invasion or torture, or jail, etc.
As you alluded to, the scary part of all this is the people we choose to
administer this protection against aggression. Do they or will they execute (no
pun intended) their powers in a fair and appropriate manner?
People or countries that choose to practice aggression against other people
forfeit their right to be treated with respect and decency. We don't live in a
perfect world and until Christ returns we won't. So, it is my opinion that
counter aggression, against a few, in what ever form, will have to be used by
man to protect the masses from aggression.
So. Will mistakes be made? Yes, Just like there are people being wrongly
convicted of crimes they didn't commit today. This is, I believe, the exception
not the rule and as long as mis justice is not intentional for self serving
reasons, we the people have to accept this margin error.
It boils down to what is acceptable defense against aggression. I say, only as
much force as is needed to obtain the appropriate result, in what ever form. To
those people who are overly concerned about the human or civil rights of
aggressors, I suggest they offer themselves to the aggressors of the world as a
shield for the rest of the humanity.
Just one guy's opinion.
Dear Karl Loren,
I like the way that you have "your head on straight". People have been so "politically corrected" that they have lost their natural compass.
It is irrational for people to fight according to some idealistic concept when your enemy is ruthless. The old expression is, "fight fire with fire". Common sense says that we should fight on a level playing field.
It is idealistic fluff to think that daisies in gun barrels will change the heart of a ruthless enemy. There was no consideration for the agony of the victims and families of those "tortured:" and killed in the fall of the World Trade Towers. I think that the perpetrator of this crime should not be exempt from "reaping what he has sown."
It is true that we are "civilized" and we don't want to "lower ourselves" to such an "inhuman" level. This concept is seen by our enemy to be weakness which they exploit. The duplicity of Saddam as he casually tortures and murders his very own people and then uses little children as military shields in order to exploit our "weakness".
Of course, we will do all that we can to protect the innocent, even at the expense of our tactical success, but we should have absolutely no compunction against using whatever means may be available to extract information from the captured perpetrator of the attack on the towers.
(Ooops, I forgot to sign my name)

Dear Karl,
Glad to hear your opinions re: the war & how you are supportive of the
President! I agree too & feel we should back him up as Americans (and not
protest!) especially because this is a war of good vs. evil & thank God our
pres. believes that Jesus Christ is the Lord of his life!
God is in control!
IF you ever watch TBN, the Trinity Broadcast Network, in CA,
there's a man named Charles Stanley that speaks very boldly re: war & what the
Bible says.
Dr. D.J. Kennedy in Ft. Lauderdale of the Coral Ridge Hour is very supportive of
the Pres. Bush as well.
Thanks for your continued work. I look forward to your emails every week;-)
God Bless,
Deanna
